Corporations generally invest in debt or stock securities

for one of three reasons.

1. Corporation may have excess cash.

2. To generate earnings from investment income.

3. For strategic reasons.

Temporary investments

and the operating cycle

Why Corporations Invest

Why Corporations Invest

LO 1 Discuss why corporations invest in debt and stock securities.

12-6 LO 2 Explain the accounting for debt investments.

Recording Acquisition of Bonds

Cost includes all expenditures necessary to acquire

these investments, such as the price paid plus brokerage

fees (commissions), if any.

Recording Bond Interest

Calculate and record interest revenue based upon the

carrying value of the bond times the interest rate times the

portion of the year the bond is outstanding.

Accounting for Debt Investments

12-7 LO 2 Explain the accounting for debt investments.

Recording Sale of Bonds

Credit the investment account for the cost of the bonds and

record as a gain or loss any difference between the net

proceeds from the sale (sales price less brokerage fees)

and the cost of the bonds.

LO 3 Explain the accounting for stock investments.

The accounting depends on the extent of the investor’s influence over the operating and financial affairs of the issuing corporation.

Accounting for Stock Investments

12-15

Companies use the cost method. Under the cost method,

companies record the investment at cost, and recognize

revenue only when cash dividends are received or when

stock is sold.

Cost includes all expenditures necessary to acquire these

investments, such as the price paid plus any brokerage fees

(commissions).



Holding of Less than 20%

Illustration: On July 1, 2014, Sanchez Corporation acquires

1,000 shares (10% ownership) of Beal Corporation common

stock. Sanchez pays $40 per share plus brokerage fees of $500.

The entry for the purchase is:

Illustration: Assume that Sanchez Corporation receives net

proceeds of $39,500 on the sale of its Beal stock on February

10, 2015. Because the stock cost $40,500, Sanchez incurred

a loss of $1,000. The entry to record the sale is:

Cash 39,500

Loss on sale of investments 1,000



Recording Sale of Stock

12-19

Equity Method: Record the investment at cost and

subsequently adjust the amount each period for the

investor’s proportionate share of the earnings (losses)

and

dividends received by the investor.

If investor’s share of investee’s losses exceeds the carrying amount of the investment, the investor ordinarily should discontinue applying the equity method.



Holding Between 20% and 50%

12-20

Under the equity method, the investor records dividends

received by crediting:

a. Dividend Revenue.

b. Investment Income.

c. Revenue from Investment.

d. Stock Investments.

Controlling Interest - When one corporation acquires a voting

interest of more than 50 percent in another corporation

Investor is referred to as the parent.

Investee is referred to as the subsidiary.

Investment in the subsidiary is reported on the parent’s

books as a long-term investment.

Parent generally prepares consolidated financial

statements.

LO 4 Describe the use of consolidated financial statements.

Valuing and Reporting Investments

Categories of Securities

Companies classify debt and stock investments into three

categories:

Trading securities

Held-for-collection securities

These guidelines apply to all debt securities and all stock investments in which the holdings are less than 20%.

LO 5 Indicate how debt and stock investments are reported in financial statements.

12-26

Trading Securities

Companies hold trading securities with the intention of

selling them in a short period.

Trading means frequent buying and selling.

Companies report trading securities at fair value, and

report changes from cost as part of net income.



12-27

Illustration: Investment of Pace classified as trading securities on December 31, 2014.

The adjusting entry for Pace Corporation is:

Dec. 31 Fair value adjustment—trading 7,000

Unrealized gain—income 7,000

Illustration 12-7


Trading Securities

12-29

These securities can be classified as current assets

or as long-term assets, depending on the intent of

management.

Procedure for determining fair value and the

unrealized gain or loss for these securities is the same

as for trading securities.

Companies report securities at fair value, and report

changes from cost as a component of the

stockholders’ equity section.


Non-Trading Securities


12-30

Illustration: Assume that Ingrao Corporation has two securities that it classifies as non-trading. Illustration 12-8 provides information on their valuation.

The adjusting entry for Ingrao Corporation is:

Dec. 31 Unrealized gain or loss—Equity 9,537

Fair value adjustment—Non-trading 9,537

Illustration 12-8


Non-Trading Securities

12-31

An unrealized loss on non-trading securities is:

a. reported under Other Expenses and Losses in the

income statement.

b. closed-out at the end of the accounting period.

c. reported as a separate component of stockholders'

equity.

d. deducted from the cost of the investment.


Question


12-32

Also called marketable securities, are securities held by a

company that are

(1) readily marketable and

(2) intended to be converted into cash within the next year

or operating cycle, whichever is longer.

LO 6 Distinguish between short-term and long-term investments.

Investments that do not meet both criteria are classified as

long-term investments.

Companies prepare consolidated balance sheets from

the individual balance sheets of their affiliated

companies.

Transactions between the affiliated companies are

eliminated.

APPENDIX 12A PREPARING CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

LO 7 Describe the form and content of consolidated financial statements as well as how to prepare them.

Consolidated Balance Sheet

12-37

Illustration: Assume that on January 1, 2014, Powers Construction Company pays $150,000 in cash for 100% of Serto Brick Company’s common stock. Powers Company records the investment at cost, as required by the cost principle.

The combined totals do not represent a consolidated balance sheet, because there has been a double counting of assets and owners’ equity in the amount of $150,000.

LO 7

12-40

Illustration: Assume the same data used above, except that Powers Company pays $165,000 in cash for 100% of Serto’s common stock. The excess of cost over book value is $15,000 ($165,000 $150,000).


Use of a Worksheet—Cost Above Book Value


12-41


Use of a Worksheet—Cost Above Book Value

Illustration 12A-3

LO 7

12-42

Illustration: The prior worksheet shows an excess of cost over book value of $15,000. In the consolidated balance sheet, Powers first allocates this amount to specific assets, such as inventory and plant equipment, if their fair market values on the acquisition date exceed their book values. Any remainder is considered to be goodwill. For Serto Company, assume that the fair market value of property and equipment is $155,000.Thus, Powers allocates $10,000 of the excess of cost over book value to property and equipment, and the remainder, $5,000, to goodwill.

the balance sheet.

Consolidated Income Statement



12-45

The basic accounting entries to record the acquisition of debt

securities, the receipt of interest, and the sale of debt securities are

the same under IFRS and GAAP.

The basic accounting entries to record the acquisition of stock

investments, the receipt of dividends, and the sale of stock securities

are the same under IFRS and GAAP.

Both IFRS and GAAP use the same criteria to determine whether the

equity method of accounting should be used—that is, significant

influence with a general guide of over 20 percent ownership, IFRS

uses the term associate investment rather than equity investment to

describe its investment under the equity method.

Key Points

12-46

Under IFRS, both the investor and an associate company should

follow the same accounting policies. As a result, in order to prepare

financial information, adjustments are made to the associate’s

policies to conform to the investor’s books. GAAP does not have that

requirement.

The basis for consolidation under IFRS is control. Under GAAP, a

bipolar approach is used, which is a risk-and-reward model (often

referred to as a variable-entity approach) and a voting-interest

approach. However, under both systems, for consolidation to occur,

the investor company must generally own 50 percent of another

company.

Key Points

12-47

Both IFRS and GAAP require that companies determine how to

measure their financial assets based on two criteria:

► The company’s business model for managing their financial

assets; and

► The contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.

If a company has (1) a business model whose objective is to hold

assets in order to collect contractual cash flows and (2) the

contractual terms of the financial asset gives specified dates to cash

flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the

principal amount outstanding, then the company should use cost

(often referred to as amortized cost).

Key Points

12-48

Both IFRS and GAAP use held-for-collection (debt investments),

trading (both debt and equity investments), and non-trading equity

investment classifications. These classifications are based on the

business model used to manage the investments and the type of

security.

The accounting for trading investments is the same between GAAP

and IFRS. Also, held-for-collection investments are accounted for at

amortized cost. Gains and losses on non-trading equity investments

(IFRS) are reported in other comprehensive income.

Key Points

12-49

Unrealized gains and losses related to non-trading securities are

reported in other comprehensive income under GAAP and IFRS.

These gains and losses that accumulate are then reported in the

balance sheet.

IFRS does not use Other Revenues and Gains or Other Expenses

and Losses in its income statement presentation. It will generally

classify these items as unusual items or financial items.

Key Points

12-50

As indicated earlier, both the FASB and IASB have indicated

(conceptually) that they believe that all financial instruments should be

reported at fair value and that changes in fair value should be reported

as part of net income. However, both the FASB and IASB have decided

to permit amortized cost for debt investments held-for-collection.

Hopefully, they will eventually arrive at fair value measurement for all

financial instruments.

Looking to the Future

12-51

The following asset is not considered a financial asset under

IFRS:

a) trading securities.

b) held-for-collection securities.

c) equity securities.

d) inventories.

IFRS Self-Test Questions

12-52

Under IFRS, the equity method of accounting for long-term

investments in common stock should be used when the

investor has significant influence over an investee and

owns:

a) between 20% and 50% of the investee’s common stock.

b) 30% or more of the investee’s common stock.

c) more than 50% of the investee’s common stock.

d) less than 20% of the investee’s common stock.


12-53

Under IFRS, unrealized gains on non-trading stock investments

should:

a) be reported as other revenues and gains in the income

statement as part of net income.

b) be reported as other gains on the income statement as

part of net income.

c) not be reported on the income statement or balance

sheet.

d) be reported as other comprehensive income.
